“Love from its very nature must be transitory. To seek for a secret that would render it constant would be as wild a search as for the philosopher’s stone or the grand panacea: and the discovery would be equally useless, or rather pernicious to mankind. The most holy band of society is friendship.”
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797), Unitarian feminist and writer, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women, who died on this day.
